Hi! urinary tract infection is very common and most of the time we cannot explain it; however, there are some possible sources / explanations as follows:
1. anal source: organisms carried forward while defecation
2. rubbing, injuries, contamination or contact with any infected surface like won skin, sexual contacts etc...
3. stone, nidus, tumors in kidney or bladder or any area in the tract
4. malformation, surgeries, tuberculosis etc . in the body / tract
Hope you got the answer; regards,
